After few seconds, the sender will receive information through a reply SMS by an auto generated system which will provide relevant information to the particular electors to ensure his or her trouble free casting of votes.

The SMS number will be announced later by public announcement, sources informed.

The information like, EPIC number, name of elector, Assembly constituency number, part number or polling station number, elector’s serial number in the photo electoral role of particular polling stations will be received by the senders, sources said.

The ECI is also going to introduce an online public complaint lodging system on the electoral officer’s website (ceoarunachal. nic. in) to lodge public grievances.
